In America, growing up Black means so many things: cultural bonds, a struggle for visibility, and all too often, unearned judgement.

Valerie Tutson teaches her students about Africa greatest explorer Abubakari II; U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo takes her son to a protest of George Floyd's death; and Harold Cox shows how fear of the police affects his everyday life. Hosted by Theresa Okokon.
